Not only were the photos fast (you're in and out in 20 minutes) but we got TONS of great shots in a variety of poses. She made the toddler in the family look like a child model and managed to make him smile a genuine smile for every shot he's in. Magic! My husband's sister lost her job due to COVID, so she's temporarily playing nanny to her cousin's toddler. There's so much about the pandemic that isn't great, but having so much family so close by for once is a small silver lining to this whole thing, and we wanted to document it by getting some family shots. Even though it was an overcast, humid day, the pictures all came out great and are cheerfully gloomy, with rich dark green backgrounds and pops of color from our outfits. We had trouble choosing our favorites! She even rolled with the punches when I brought some fans with other cousin's faces on them so they could "be" in the photo we send to Grammy and just acted like that was a fine and normal thing to bring to a shoot :).

You can trust this man with you and your loved ones' important life moments. Whether it's a team photo, Julie's graduation, or Gracie's baptism, I'm calling Alio Graphics.

We live in San Francisco and my wife was planning on celebrating my birthday a month early in Bethesda since my Mom and several sibling live there. I wanted to make sure we captured not only the birthday celebration, but those special moments as a family---since we hadn't been together in 15 years. I did a web search and reviewed numerous photographers in the DC area and visited their portfolios on their websites. Margarita "MGR Photography" caught my attention because my initials are "MGR" and her artistic skills telling stories. During the entire engagement Margarita was great! I would highly recommend MGR Photography for any special occasion, celebrations or family milestone. Margarita tells the story and captures the moments to cherish forever.

She put my husband and I at ease (as well as our twin girls!!) during our photo session. Our twins were 5 months old, and even tho that typically isn't an age group she works with the photos we received from her were truly jaw dropping and brought tears to our eyes. Every single photo was absolutely stunning and timeless. I was initially attracted to Liz's work primarily because of how she lets her subjects shine on their own with clean, simple, natural, airy and flowy vibes. i didn't like all the staged looks and props that other photographers were using . She truly is an amazing artist and she is worth EVERY penny!!!! I cannot recommend her enough. She is the best!!!!
